Where To Dispose of Styrofoam

Styrofoam makes up over 25% of space in landfills. You can help avoid this by using local recycling options:

Bring your Styrofoam any day between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm to the Clifton Recycling Center at 900 Clifton Avenue in the back on Linzenbold Avenue.

No residence ID is required and there is no charge. Clifton has Styrofoam densifying equipment and sells what they condense. By processing Styrofoam from other communities, they pay off the equipment cost.
